Resolution Stats 1.7

Just a quick note today. I missed my weight target. My weight went up 0.5 kg to 71.6 kg.

The tramp today was a lot of fun, with varied terrain, I will post some more and some pickies tomorrow. So no tasks were completed.

Resolution Stats 1.6

Weight bounced up 0.2kg yesterday. So now my BMI is 25.19, my weight is 71.1 kg, and my Wii Age is 26. It is the 7th tomorrow, so let’s see if I have met my goal my weight is below 70.5 kg. Somehow I doubt it, although I have had a busy day helping a friend of mine shift, and have only eaten 2 eggs on toast, a Subway™ Sandwich, and a pottle of yogurt all day.

No progress on tasks today, still only 24, but helping a friend is a good excuse. The bright side is I haven’t thought of any new tasks to add.

Tramping tomorrow. White’s Gorge and the 3 Deans. The forecast is for a very hot day, and as this day finishes walking down the Waipara River, it should be a good day for it. I’ll write up a report about it tomorrow (and maybe some photos).

Resolution Stats 1.5

Progress at last, I have lost 1.4 kg! This puts my BMI at 25.12, my weight at 70.9 kg. My Wii Age this morning was 25. So good stats all round. I have only 0.4 kg to lose before I reach my goal, and I am finally in the normal weight range.

On the task list side I have 24 Active Tasks. That is 2 tasks completed, and 5 new ones added. Never mind, I am going backwards fast here. Still it is the tasks getting completed that are the important things. I made good progress on a third task, cleaning the downstairs room. It has been emptied out, now just waiting for it to be dried out (after the storm on Sunday) before cleaning, and then I will make it my home gym.

So it has been a busy day.

Resolution Stats 1.4

I will go mad if I have to come up with an original name for these stats every day so I will use the Resolution Stats title.

The Wii Fit says my weight went up yesterday and extra 100g. Not much of a rise, but still not a drop. I will try skipping tea tonight and see if that jolts my body into burning fat. So at the moment my BMI is 25.62, my weight is 72.3 kg, and my Wii Age is 33. It goes up and down a lot, so long as I keep it significantly below my actual age I am happy.

I still have 21 tasks on my list. I completed a small task (refreshing my emergency water), and added a big task.

I have flooding in the downstairs room of my house, due to a massive downpour we had yesterday, so I need to dig a drain to stop it happening again.

Lack of Progress

The Wii Fit today told me that my weight has not changed since yesterday morning. Damn. At least it has not gone up. So still 72.2 kg.

The good news is that my Wii Fit age has reduced to 24.

I have 21 active tasks on my task list. This is better than it sounds because I have added 4 more tasks that should have been on there. The bad news is all of the tasks done have been routine, so long term progress is nil.

Happy Birthday Blake

My nephew Blake had his 9th birthday yesterday. You are growing up young man.

Resolution Progress

I am using my Wii Fit to measure my weight and track progress, and in the 100 days that I have been using it I have managed to reduce my BMI down from almost obese, to what it is now which is overweight, but just above the normal range. Although my long term goal is to reduce my weight down to a BMI of 22, my immediate goal is to reduce my BMI to below 25, so I am inside the normal weight range for my height.

Of course the Christmas/ New Year season has not helped, but I have still managed to keep my weight under control.

My weight this morning was 72.2 kg, or a BMI of 25.58. My Wii Age (based on a couple of balance exercises) is 33. Not bad.

I have set a goal for the 7th to have a weight of 70.5 kg, which is a BMI of 24.98. We will see how I go.

I have one job application in at the moment, so this is small progress on my goal of actually getting some income.

I have 25 active tasks on my task list. Hopefully I should get rid of a lot of the routine ones today (basically housework), so this number should look better tomorrow.

This week is planned. I have not been following the plan perfectly (hence this blog restarting today and not yesterday), but I am following the original plan reasonably closely.
